Hi,

Firmware is now online!

Toengel@Alex

A positive first impression ... more feedbacks tomorrow.

Negative for me - Dynamic Backlight flicker is still present - Same settings and same scenes on 133.5 dont produce flicker

First thing I noticed is that menus are now slower on my pdl6907 then it used to be.

Unfortunately I have to second that. More irritating than the HDNM-bug and makes the dynamic backlight completely unusable. Will post in the technical thread after a couple of days of additional testing.

The first findings:
- network player can change audio language now
- the i+ button now displays channel broadcast info after returning from HDMI
- faster boot section
- 2D image correct when selecting from 3D - before was SBS
- they worked on the picture settings but cannot say at this moment what is changed. I checked the HDNM and looks a bit better. My impression.
- new device discovery bug looks to be solved but further testing needed.

This is what I could find positive.
On the negative:
- Recording TVR HD plays back as a black screen
- Nasul TV station though active is not detected "channel not present" error message.

I will test more later in the morning. Now I have to go to sleep.

Positive
- faster Channel change
- faster menu browser
- Dolby Digital sound bug on HDMI sources solved

Negative
- dynamic back light flickers

impossible to get TV Guide working properly whatever network connection (wire or wireless).
Any trick to fix that ?

I did think the image looked good on the latest firmware - but could be my imagination ;) - however I have to stick to 133.5 due to the backlight flicker -

Hi!

WHERE did you find that new software ??
I've checked philips.ro and philips.co.uk and philips.se, but they all only have the old .14 firmware = 000.150.048.014, 2012-11-16 .


And what does the T, K, and H stand for at the end of the series model number, like 47pfl6067T/12 or 47pfl6067K/12 ?

My guess is that T stands for Terrestrial, which one receives via antenna, but then the K should be a C, if that stands for Cable ... :-)

And my T model can receive via Antenna as well as Cable, so that can't be it.

Are the firmware the same for these Three Letters?

Hi,

Toengel@Alex

Ok, Thanx!

But very stupid of Philips not to update the info about WHAT version it is one picks up!


Still misspelled Swedish: Say's "Avtängnings-timer" instead of "AvStängnings-timer" in 'Allmänna Inställningar' (Common Settings ?!). An 's' missing.

And every time the TV is turned on, it tells me i have connected a CAM, but I already know that, and don't need to be informed about it every time ...

And there we also have the next misspelling; it say's it has done a "Autentiering" of the CAM, but the correct spelling is "Autentisering", check it out here: http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autentisering


/LbL!

(Seems the new Internet Explorer 10 for Win7 isn't really working here in this Editor, Advanced or not, one can't hit Enter to get a new line, for one... I had to change to Opera now.)

You're picky!
